DULCIS

"Please, Dulcis... Dulcis, wake up..." Kishion beckoned and poked my cheek.

"Hija, gising na. Tovin left you for a while. Mabuting bata naman iyon. He's still related to the Pieters."

"Hmm?" I opened my eyes to see them even I am still dozy.

"Kumain ka na nga para sa pamangkin ko," Kishion commanded.

"Fed me appetizer, brother," I said, closing my eyes again.

"May ipapakita pa ako sa'yo," he added.

Nagmulat ako para makita silang nag-uusap. "What is it, Kishion?"

"Ma, iyong ginugusto niyong Tovin na 'yon may tinatagong sikreto. He doesn't love our Dulcis." I found him rolling his eyes while handing me a folded paper.

Naked Freak,

We're done. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for giving the chance to kiss you all over. Thank you for loving me. Sorry I can't return back the love you want me to give you. Please forget about me. Forget about us. I realized that I am no longer happy with you. Goodbye.

J.T.

I paused and wrinkled my forehead. J.T. stands for Jean Tovin.

He... He doesn't love me?

Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko tinupi iyon ng maayos at sakto namang may kumatok at pinagbuksan ni mama.

"Good morning!" Jean Tovin greeted.

"So... how are you? Nagising kang wala ako, no? Well, I slept here last night and I moved out at six to fix the issues." I stared at him as I nod continuously. "So... maayos na ang pakiramdam mo?"

He asked me last night to come back to him. I was not able to answer him because I doubted... Ayoko muna but right now, I think I know what will I say.

I held the piece of paper and flashed in front of him.

"Ano yan?" he asked, smiling.

"May gana ka pang magpunta dito when on the first place you dumped my sister."

His temple wrinkled. I want to cry because I can't accept the fact that he really left me with a note. The note is heartbreaking... Inabot ko iyon sa kanya at kinuha naman niya.

"Shit," he muttered.

"Oh ano? You're here for the baby? Hindi kailangan ng bata ang tunay niyang ama. Darke's willing to be the father," Kishion said with a hint of insult. A tension is building up. I gripped for Jean Tovin's arm to stop him from what he is planning. Jean Tovin crumpled the paper and held it in his clenched fist.

"Kishion naman," papa groaned at nakahawak sa sentido niya.

"Maybe the letter's not recent--"

"Ma, kahit na!" Kishion is insisting and I don't know what to do.

He knelt.

"Dulcis... I am sorry I left you. A-akala ko noon... a-akala ko hindi tayo pwede," he started, head's still bowed. "But now... but now I clearly understood. I was enlightened, para tayo sa isa't isa. Dulcis, c'mon, baby... Dulcis, totoo ito. I am still in love with you. I'm always... in love with you. Totoo iyong sinabi ko noon sa'yo. Na-torture ako ng wala sa oras noong iniwan kita! Hindi kita kinalimutan... Nagsisisi na ako dahil iniwan kita. I am sorry! I am so sorry... Come back please..."

Our eyes widened in shock too when his face was damp due to his tears. I felt something on my chest-- a pang. Maybe it will be painful if I won't accept him. I'll be in distress if I won't choose right, if I won't choose him.

My reply will answer everything.
